The second-generation Transit Connect arrived last year with a more elegant body and a better equipped passenger compartment. A wagon version without side windows is offered, as is a Touring version featuring side windows and a second and third row of seats. There are two possible four-cylinder engines, with the optional Ecoboost exclusively available on the wagon version. The only transmission is a six-speed automatic.
